Beyoncé’s New Album Lined Up For December, Columbia CEO All But Says

In a recent interview with Billboard, CEO/chairman of Columbia Rob Stringer, obviously, dodged questions about what specific albums he might have in the chamber for Q4. But it doesn’t take a crack sleuth to figure out that he’s probably referring to Beyoncé‘s long-in-the-works fifth studio album.

While talking about Celine Dion‘s new album, also set for December release, Stringer added, “And we’ve got one or two records, which will be coming out that we’re working on.” Billboard notes that he said this “cryptically.”

“I feel good about those records, too — we’ve got records lined up that hopefully will make the beginning of December.”
